Search Awards 2015 – Creare Shortlisted Again!

If you follow us on Twitter or Facebook, you may have already seen the exciting announcement. We have been shortlisted for not one, but two categories in 2015’s prestigious Search Awards.

We’ve been nominated for two of the biggest categories in the awards which are:

  • Best Large Agency
  • Best SEO Software Suite

Although we attended the awards ceremony last year, this is the first time we’ve been shortlisted for the Best Large Agency category. It’s a huge achievement and makes us proud of all the work everyone at Creare has put into the last 12 months.

The Process

Getting this far hasn’t come easy. The process of submitting our entry was hard work but, as we always do at Creare, we gave it our best and people all across the business pulled together to achieve a great submission pack.

Here are some examples of what we needed to include:

Best Large Agency Category

  • Details of roles, employee numbers and business objectives.
  • Recent work undertaken including objectives & implementation
  • Why we think we should win

Best SEO Software Suite

  • Overview of innovation or product
  • Why you think your product should win
  • Link to online demonstration

However, this is what we also included:

  • Our talented designers built a timeline of our Creare journey for the last 12 months to show the milestones we’ve come across and how we’ve grown – see the timeline here.
  • The focus on ‘Our People Your Team’ has been prominent in the last 12 months and wanted to showcase this in our entry
  • Full demonstration video for the software created in-house and available for everyone to use.

Creare Sponsorship – Supporting the Industry

Our involvement in the Search Awards hasn’t just stopped at being nominated; to show our support for this event and the industry as a whole, we’ve sponsored the ‘Best SEO Campaign’ category.

Pushing boundaries and exploring new approaches to campaigns is a key part of our ethos and what really drives our passion for the industry, so we really wanted to show our support by sponsoring the ‘Best SEO Campaign’ category. We’re really excited to see what all of these campaigns have to offer, and can’t wait to celebrate the success with other companies in the SEO industry.

The Staff

There has been so much hard work put in to the application from many people across the business including Designers & Developers, Content Writers, Executives and so many more.

We had an influx of volunteers who came forward to create focus groups and everyone contributed value throughout the process. This helped us pull everything together to create a fantastic entry which has come to fruition.

To wrap up, thank you to everyone on the judging panel who has recognised our hard work up to this point and to everyone at Creare who has helped pull such a fantastic entry together. Roll on 26th November!
